Co-op survival game Core Keeper gets the mix of cozy and creepy just right

I'm running through a dark, narrow tunnel just as fast as my little legs will take me. The last time I ran this fast for this long it was because I'd stepped into a chamber coated with slime, heard a deep rumble, and saw a glowing centipede the size of a jumbo jet scrabbling out of the darkness at me. I turned and ran and didn't stop until I'd gotten all the way back to my base...

Core Keeper tin ore location and uses

Getting your hands on some Core Keeper tin ore is likely the first real obstacle you'll face as you start upgrading your equipment in this adventure game. While the copper gear you find early on works well for the first slew of battles and adventures, it's not good enough to help you beat down some of the horrors that await in the dark depths.

So, grabbing tin ore is going to be one of the first things you'll want to do once you've got a basic base set up. The only trouble is, Core Keeper isn't exactly forthcoming with information on, well, anything. Core Keeper is so early in development that it doesn't have a tutorial yet. Instead, you're provided with a cutscene that says you're in trouble.

Lucky for you, we know all there is to know about Core Keeper tin ore, and we're always happy to help by sharing our wealth of knowledge with you. Here's what you need to know about finding tin ore in Core Keeper, why you need it, and what it can be used for.

Core Keeper: Where to find tin ore to upgrade your arsenal

Core Keeper tin ore is an important step toward crafting weapons and tools stronger than copper, including your first ranged weapon, the slingshot, and more durable bronze armor.

But if you're looking to upgrade your Core Keeper arsenal with tin, you're going to have to do some major tunneling into an entirely new biome to find it...

Steam's latest hit is a co-op survival game blending Stardew Valley, Terraria, and Valheim

It's hard to summarize everything going on in Core Keeper, but I'd say it's sort of a blend of Stardew Valley, Terraria, and Minecraft, with a bit of Valheim and even some Factorio thrown in for good measure. Plus, it's all set deep underground in the dark… but somehow that doesn't stop it from feeling quite cozy and charming...

Core Keeper sales hit a quarter-million copies in a week

The first week Core Keeper sales are in, and they're looking mighty impressive. The indie game's blend of Terraria and Diablo has reportedly helped it sell 250,000 copies in its very first week.

Core Keeper has been a hit since it launched on Steam Early Access last week, where it was an immediate hit - reaching a peak concurrent player count of 7,555 on its first day, which is hugely impressive for a still-in-development indie game.

The sales back up that Core Keeper is a hit with the Steam crowd, too. Two days after launch, on March 10, developer Pugstorm confirmed that the game had sold over 100,000 copies on Valve's storefront - which it said made Core Keeper the "fastest-selling digital title of all time" for publisher Fireshine Games. Now, just a few days later, Pugstorm says that Core Keeper has sold over 250,000 copies on PC - less than a week after release, and with the launch day discount still in effect.
